时间挤挤就会有:如何为更重要的事情挤时间
简单化。
Your daily input. Reduce the number of blogs, newsletters, magazines, book clubs, podcasts, TV-shows etc. you follow. Just keep the ones you are really getting something out of.
限制信息摄入量。减少你看的博客、报纸、杂志、播客、电视节目等,只是选择一些你能够真正知道一些东西的来看。
Email. Just check and process your email during one chunk of time once per day. Instead of checking it 10 times or more each day.
限制电子邮件。每天只在特定的时间收发邮件,而不是频繁地去注意它。
Social activities. Write down a list of the social activities you are involved in after school or work. Maybe you are involved in a club or an activity that it is not as fun or rewarding as it used to be. Maybe you want to rearrange your priorities a bit to focus on something else this year.
限制社交活动。为你在放学和下班后要参加的社交活动列一张表。或许你在参加的一个社团或者活动没有原先那么好玩和有意义了,或许你应该重新规划一下,看看哪些才是你更应该做的。
Minimize or eliminate.
最小化。
What else can you eliminate or minimize besides the things listed above? Some meetings at work or in school? Redditing or some online forum you hang out on a lot?
除了上面列出来的东西以外,还有什么是你可以精简或删除的呢?或许是一些无聊的会议?或是一些网上论坛的活动?
Question and reconsider your own habits regularly instead of moving along in the same old tracks just because it what you usually do. See if you want make changes to make more room for things you would honestly get more out of.
问问自己,经常思考一下自己的习惯,而不是仅仅因为你经常那么干就由着旧习惯走。你要是希望做出些改变来为其他事情腾出更多的时间,你就一定能得到更多时间。
Find unnoticed free time in your day.
寻找生活中被忽视的时间。
One final tip. There is often quite a bit of open travel- or waiting-time during a year. What will you use your such time for? Perhaps you would like to read more while riding the train or listen to audio books while waiting for a meeting to start or while you are out driving your car.
这是最后的建议。每年中你肯定有不少时间花在路上或是在等待中。你会如何利用这些时间呢?或许你会在火车上读些东西,或者在等待开会时或是开车的时候听点电子书。
Even if you only have 20 minutes of commuting time each day then you still have a many, many hours in a year that you may want to, at least partly, use in a new way.
即使你每天只花20分钟在上下班的车上,但是一年365天,每天20分钟还是一段不短的时间。你还是需要更好地利用好它们。
